Who says Homeopathy is worthless?

Posted on

1 Comments

There was an article in the Daily Mail yesterday about Homeopathy and how one expert considered it "worthless".

This is obviously one mans opinion, which from some of the comments on the article is echoed by some of the general public but when the NHS spent £4 million pounds last year on Homeopathy remedies last year, there are calls from the British Medical Association for this funding to end.

Homeopathy works for some people and I believe in the freedom of choice and the ability to make an informed decision. I am certainly no expert about Homeopathy but surely the NHS cant fund something that doesnt have results?

When I had my second baby, I used hypnobirthing, which is something that wasnt funded by the NHS and again is something that some people consider to be poppycock but I have no doubt that this was better for me, my baby and ultimately saved the NHS a bed!! So who is to say what is right or wrong, surely people are allowed the choice??

    It is not one man's opinion. Prof Ernst has spent a considerable amount of time and effort researching various alternative medicines. He and others have found that homeopathy has no effect over placebo. All that works is the body healing itself from minor complaints such as bruises and colds. Giving somebody water in the guise of an effective medicine is certainly unethical and should not be funded.
